History of the Arsenal v Fulham fixture

Arsenal prepare to entertain Fulham at Highbury on Wednesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Gunners have won an impressive 17 of the 19 meetings between the two sides, drawing the other 2.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highbury was less than a year ago, in December 2004, with Arsenal running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Arsenal could not have a more impressive recent home form, having won each of the last six games. In this time, Gunners have rattled up an impressive 18 goals, and conceded 2.

In complete contrast to Arsenal, Fulham are having a torrid time on their travels, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Cottagers have hit 7 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Arsenal's 3 points from 2 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Fulham find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 1 points from their 2 matches.
